I sure did not think it would come back this fast...was prepared for much longer...I will still probably use the Generic Viagra at times because I like how it works and it's cheap. It sure is good to be back this quickly....I will thank my surgeon each and every time I see him - he's the rock star I thought he was! Now I just have to wait 9 1/2 years more to determine if I should deem him the greatest surgeon in the western hemisphere! Hope this gives hope to some out there in same situation! My updated path:

Notes on Recovery: Was at my desk working (from home office – sales) 6 days following my surgery. No pain to speak of (very lucky as many have some pain) I think because I took the Tramadol they gave religiously and found it to be the best drug in the world. BM’s where the trickiest part and most uncomfortable in the early stages but improved with time – follow the diet they give you!...I strayed off and the next BM helped to get me back on track – I like food very hot and spicy - don’t recommend that for at least a month following surgery. Cream soups, mushroom, celery, and chicken worked great the first week following surgery. Mashed Potatoes…Ah the first time following surgery it was heaven!...the first really solid food I ate…..you will learn to appreciate food all over again as you add back your favorites following surgery when the time is right. Take all the help from everyone around you…it might be a while you get that opportunity again to be waited on hand and foot. Liquids are a concern but some affect people differently it seems reading through the discussion board…I found anything carbonated would cause much leaking…alcohol was not good either…but I justified doing it thinking It’s my training method to work on my bladder control!...lol I love homebrewed beers too much! And am an admitted hop head.

ED path:
Early on started on Viagra 100mg pills cut into 4ths so 25mg per day dose then a full 100mg on every 7th day.
Also bought pump and used sporadically to get blood flow to member. Within about three weeks or 5 weeks from surgery (cannot remember but probably posted on CSN somewhere) had usable erections.

Currently only need ¼ pill to get usable . Day 150 am starting to get semi hard without any drug.

Thinking about getting my wreck diving certification in Panama City over the 4th of July provided there are not to many tar balls to dodge - I have a new Reg and BC I do not want to mess up with oil. There are some good places to eat in Cozumel also! Best of luck on the 15th!

Update - had to use Viagra today - not sure why maybe it's because of difference in time morning versus night??? Does anyone else find the time of day has anything to do with ED function?

dont ask me why about 4in the morning guess the brain gets everything excited just thinking about it ,I to have had some luck in between taking tablets some mornings he has a mind of his own just like the old days and as my old dad sais waste not want not and you have to agree with your elders . great news Randy keep it up so to speak

"if you don't use it you will lose it, and become a memeber of the Limp D... Bench."

At the time, as a freshmen in College that was a very important statement and one to remember.

As Ken GRiffy Sr. stated in the book I'm reading that Maria gave me....The ultimate form of erectile dysfunction is death" The key message, as Ken emphasized, is that having one's life is most important, even if "manhood" is compromised. As Ken Griffey Sr. epitomizes, a proud man is one who values his life and chooses to be there for his family.

That is exactly what my goal was...get the cancer gone first, then worry about all the rest later, but that was me...no two people are the same.
